WEIGLE. of Somopet towjuliiD If Columbus bad" tried be could not have discovered us during a grander month than October. Cleveland has subscribed $10,000 to the Democratic campaign corruption fund to be used for the election of himself. Coixmbi-s found "free trade" on these shores in H:2. Cleveland would like to keep it up to the Bin? standard in 1S!'2. When Grover Cleveland wants votes he is great, friend of Union soldiers. His vetoes while President showed bet ter his real sentiment. I'itoTTiox means high wages and home comforts and luxuries for w orking men, while Free Trade means ill-paid la ta ir, poverty and dera lation. It is perfectly sfe to nay (ieneral Har rison will get nine-tenths of all the votes of veteran of the old Union army, as well as nine-tenths of the votes of sons of old soldiers. Soi'TitERS lemoeraU can find nothing too mean to say of "the Third party mis creants." ut up in Minnesota and out in KarJsas they are trying to crawl into the same bed and drink out of the same bottle. The Democrats of Tennessee are cack ling loud over a great feat. They allow ed Candidate Weaver "to make a two hour's speech" and di not rotten egg him once. Well done, Tennessee! It is a great object leseon for Georgia. All that the Republicans of Somerset county have to do, to maintain their old time reputation, is to g-t out the vote. There is no reason why every Republic an voter ic the county should not be at the polls. A systematic effort should be ma ie by the Committeeman in each dis trict to get out the full vote. Now is a good time for every stalwart Republican to find oat whether his neighbor is going to the election, and urge upon him to do so. A lull vote means victory. Close up the lines brethren ! The Na tional isaue is between Protec:on and Free Trade. The State and Congression al issue involves three votes for or against Free trade, honest money and fair elec tions. The Legislative issue concerns t wo Totes for a United States Senator, w ho will sustain cr oppose Republican princi ples, w bile support of the local ticket means a continuance of sound home rule. Here is every inducement for Republic ans to see to it that the party vote is brought out and fully polled. Close cp the lines everywhere 1 Gr.ovaa Cleveland say s the Democrat ic party "wages no war against American interest?," while at the same time it is do ing its dirty best to belittle, decoy and prevent the manufacture of tin in this country, and Senator Vest, of Miseouri, one of his most ardent ad vocat s, announ ces that the Ieu!Ocracv has "declared a war of extermination ujon the protected industries." Cleveland and Vent should have compared r.-tes before rushing into print. It is the same old swindling game of the professional thimble rigvrer. No one cin tell under w hich thimble the lit tle joker is. Thk wisdom of Democratic financier ing most be found among the archives prior to lSfll. Old people hare a very dis tiact recollection of the money of those dya. Every man wi.o was going a hundred-mile jurney, or to a distant State, had to change his paper money or carry silver and gold. So poor was Uncle Sam's credit that in lSviii a Iemccrat;c Secreta ry of tbe.Treasury asked Congress to al- low.the States to indorse our Nati onal bonds so they could be rendered market able. Just imagine such a thing as that sow. i nen ne naa io pay S and 10 per cent, and could not get money at that. Mr. Ei.Aisics brief bat pointed speech, made at the home of Mr. Whitelaw Eeid, on tnday.evenin? Ust, will carry glad tidings to every Republican voter in the country. It is not only evidence of his returning health, and.of his unimpaired intellectual powers, but it shows how ot tetty unbonded have been the Demo cr ic reports regarding his attitude in the campaign. Loyal as ever to the Re publican party, his short speech is a bo gle mil to the country to re-elect the President who has been so steadfast to duty and who has given as an adminis tration of which every American can well ftei proud. Ot a fiiends, the enemy, are circulating among the fanners a document which undertakes to tell them how calamitous is their situation, when they hitch tax ed horse to a taxed wig in, by means of axed harness, and drive it to town, w here they buy such and such, taxed so and so. They omit to say, however, that the wag on now costs $y instead if f 12-", ms it did a few years ago; that the lumber it brings back from town costs (12 where then it cost $30; that it is put together with nai's costing (2 75 a keg instead of $7; that it is painted with paint costing f 7 per 100 pounds instead of $11, and mixed w ith linseed oil costing 45 cents a gallon where then it cost f 1. These pha ses of Republican taxation da not get in to Djiaxralio documents. Tn United States Supreme Court, in an opinion handed down by Chief Just ice Fuller, Monday, affirmed the judg ment of the Michigan Snpreme court, up ho'.ding the constitutionality of the law providing fir the election of Presiden tial electors by Congressional distric ts in stead of by the State as a whole. Vote for a sife currency, and against wild-cat money. No legislation so near ly touches the private citizen, and par ticularly the laboring man, as that which deals with the country's monetary sys tem. The volume and quality of our cur rency controls and fixes the price ofev ry particle of food, every foot of land, ev ery yard of cloth, every day's labor in the country. A fluctuating currency, subject to discount, and the change of value in each community or State, is a curse, particularly to the men who de pend for what they eat to-morrow npon w hat they earn to-day. No country in the world has a safer and sounder cur rency than we have enjoyed since the Republicans have been in power, and we have never heretofore had so long and unbroken a period of prosperity. The Republican party has always been the friend of sound and safe money. Not so with tb Democrats. They have contin uously opposed every monetary reform that has been enacted for the past thirty years, and to-day they recommend in their platform the abolition of the tax on State bank issues, w hich in effect would return us to the currency we had before the war, when no man knew if the bank note he had in his pocket to-day would be worth the paper it was printed on to morrow. If there was no other issue in volved in this campaign, this question of safe and sound money ought to be induce ment enough forevery prudent, thinking man, to vot the Republican ticket. Tux pious soul of Hon. Wayne Mac Veigh is sorely vexed because of the use of money in politics, and in his speech, made in Philadelphia on Friday evening last, he assigns this as one of his reasons for casting in his fortunes with the im maculate Democracy. Hear him : " But I have watched with pain and alarm the steady growth of the corrupt use of money in our politics, and I have been constantly hoping that the Repub lican party would at leait turn its face towards lower duties npon imports and against other forms of Congressional bounties in accordance with the teach ings of so many of its greatest and wisest leaders, and thus diminish the tempta tions to that awful traihe, hateful alike to (Jod and all good men, the buying and selling r-f votes." The Free Trader is never at a loss for an allegation, more or less specious, to extenuate his hostility to the protection of American industries, and Mr. Mac Veigh seizes upon the pretext that the Republican party corruptly uses money contributed by the manufacturers of this country for political purposes, as tn ex ense for going over to the Free Trade Democracy. That this is sheer hypocri sy and charlatanism, is endorsed by the fact that of the leaders of the pure Dem ocracy, llarrity, who holds the office of Secretary of State for this Commonwealth, has deserted his official duties, is run ning the Democratic campaign, and is lustily begging for money for election purposes. Cleveland has given his check for $10,000. Mayor Grace's fjl lowers in New York city have pledged ?."0,0o0. Attorney General Hensel, of this State, has promised $2"0,('00 ; the wicked New "iork World has raised f,( KX; Tammany has levied $2,000,000 on the dives, brothels and gambling hous es of the city, and the Pittsburgh W and other lesser Democratic oreans throughout the country, are passing the hat for contributions for the same cor rupt purpose, while Whitney, Brice and other millionaires have tkeir hands deep down in their pockets. There never was a time in which the Democratic party had more money at its command, or more brazenly proclaimed thepurpoee of using it to procure rotes ; and it is under this state of affairs, and the authority of this boodle campaign that Mr. MacVeigh declares that in search of pure political methods he is forced to ally himself with that organization. Faugh ! such a declaration smells rank to Heaven! Democracy Means Free Trade. From the New York Sun. One duty of vrovernment is to protect the labor of its citizens. Munich U a gallery and centre of art. Ger man women with & many as six children saw wood in its streets for 15 cents a day. May a merciful God sink the hideous spectae before it shall become an incideot of our civiiiletion ! Nearly seven hundred million dollars' worth of the starvation labor of Euro in the form of manufactured goods imported into ihU country. That which came from Belgium in bales and boxes represented the wares of 22 cents a day for women and 4-i cents for men ; and the highest pricei labor in loose cargoes of Ee'g:an steel and iron represented wages Uis than 80 cents a clay. Compared with these the wi(s of Carnegie's men at Bra. I Jock are the income of princes. Italian labor in Italian merchandise vn imported into this country ... in com petition with American labor, at prices that should fill sensitive souls with horror, and alarm tbe thoughtful for the future of the human race. The pay in the cotton factories of Naples is :J cents a day ; of the Neapoli tan marble and granite cutters, from 45 to 50 cents a day, according to skill ; of cjach ruen, St cents ; of women in lace factories, 10 cents, and girla, 7 cents ; of soldiers in the army, $2, a month. Of all the workmen in glassworks of lta!y, only the skilled blowers receive as high as a dollar a day. and labor- era on faron, boeinn or making hay, from 13 to IS cent a day, working from sua to sun. OoJ cave America from such wages: In tbe Swist silk go x.'s . . . was the skilled labor of torn at 41 cents a day. and of women at 20 cents, bo:b competing with the tiik weavers of Paterson, New York, Philadel phia and Cheney.

V hat Free Coinage Means. From Tbe Kew-York Recorder. As now csed in our Xatiirfial politics free coinage means these several things, via. " 1. That every man shall have a right t j bring his silver to ibe alint, not to sell to tbe Government, as is the present practice, but to have it coined for himself. i. That the Government shall coin this private silver free of charge. S. The the Government shall coin a dol lar containing 37t 1 4 grains, or tbereabonta, of pur silver, instead of 412 grains, aa in the standard silver dollar. 4 That the Government shall declare tbe debased dollar, worth otly C7 cents, or thereabouts, to be worth 10 cents, and thai! make this C7 cents dollar a legal tender at its fare valoe, Ibrall debts aud obligations a the United States. To ttau this scheme is to tipoe the fraud on the very face cf it. Blaine on the Issues. The Man from Maine Makes a Stirring Addreis. The Administration of President Har rison Most Hertlly Com mended. Wnm FLarss, October 14. James G. Blaine has speken. A big crowd from the villages of West Cheater county went to Ophir farm to-night and heard the man from Maine. Politicians had tried to obtain the same result but failed. Tbe ex secreta ry however yielded to popular enthusiasm and spoke. The demonstration was sponta neous and arranged on short notice. The idea was started this morning and by night fall the news that such an aflair would take place had been spread over the southern part of the county. The Republicans gathered in all their strength and want to Mr. Reid's home. Delegates were present from Port Chester, Eye, White Plains aud other placea. After a few words of introduction Mr. Reid presented Mr. Blaine. As the popular son of Maine steied forward he was greeted with rounds of cheers. When sufficient si lence could be restored to permit bim to be beard Mr. Blaine spoke as follows : Fellow citUens of New York I should be churlish, indeed, if I did not make response to your call after you have come several miles to this beautiful home of Mr. Reid on this pleasant October evening. At the same time lam not making siieecbea in this can vass for reasons which are well known to my friends and which have no connection whatever with politics. Generally adminis trations in presidential elections are chal lenged on account of the condition of busi ness of the country and submit that the re publican administration of President Har rison can triumphantly endure such a teat. A pplaute I doubt if since .the government of the United States was instituted anybody, at any lime, has seen what we call good times so generally, taking it in so many interests and spreading proefierity throughout tbe whole domain of trade. I might apial to New York, if the city has eer passed a season more satisfactory in financial results than for tbe past two years, tn which tbe general effect on capital and labor has been more prosperous. Applause The opponents or" the Republican party always represent New York as a commerc al city, and not a manufacturing one, and yet the product of the manufacturers of the city alone is I700,000,t0. Anything that would cripple that great interest would cripple the metropolis fearfully and to a very hurtful ex tent. More men in New York get their living from pursuits protected by the tariff than from any other source. I know that New Y'ork is the centre of our commerce, the great entrepot of onr trade; but all tbe men engaged in commercial pursuits in and about New Y'ork are smaller in number than the men engaged in manufacture, for if you go west where the democrats declare they are making considerable effort and doing a vast amount of boasting will you find it different. Take Ohio, take Michigan, take Indiana, take Illinois, and the products of manufactures are . greater in pecunairy amounts than the products of these four great agricultural states; so that I think when it happens to democratic orators who arc on the wing trying to arouse the hostili ty of these states against the protective tariff they will .encounter a sentiment of which they have not dreamed. We learn from tbe democratic party that these western states are in a desperate condition. The amount of their farm mortgages rolls up into the mil lions. You would suppose it fabulous that the amount 6T money they embrace could ever have been so invested. This is not so among tbe farmers in New Y'ork ; it is not so among the farmers in New Jersey ; it is not so among the farmers of Connecticut ; it is not so among the farm ers of Pennsylvania ; it is not so among tbe farmers of New York state, nearby whose condition can be easily learned by a singu lar fatality, it is the western states that have got all these farm mortgages burdening them and taking the life out of the people. I don't like to say that gentlemen have vol untarily misrepresented the facts, but before accepting them as such you will do well as wisely, to demand the proof. The tariff, the democratic paper says, is tbe origin of a plutocratic govern ment when wealth shall rule and oor men will not get their rights. I shall venture to challenge al' statements of that kind, and I shall make the democratic accusers the judges in the cae. A careful examination of the list of wealthy men in the country has been pub lished a id has demonstrated the fact to be quite the reverse; to such an extent, indeed, that in the city of New Y'ork, taking tbe first IjO great fortunes not three, not two, not more than one would be considered as derived from manufacturing investments. I have a word to say about the Irish vote. I see it is stated that the democrats boast of having the mass of them in their ranks this year. It is one of the mysteries of our politics that a question which interests England so supremely which is canvassd almost as much in London, as it is New Y'ork should have the Irish vote on the side of Great Britain. If the Irish vote were solidly for protection they could defy the machinations of the democratic party for free trade and throw their influence on tbe side of the home market of America against the tide of the forergn markets of England. I know this appeal has frequently been made to the Irish voters, but I make it with emphasis now, for I am unwiiiing to believe that with the light of knowledge before tbcoi tbey will not deliberately be on the side of their former oppressor, I thick. I shall rely on my good friend Egar, tbe brilliant and successful minister to Chili, whom I feel especially glad to meet at Mr. Keid's table this evening. I think I must rely on him to intercede with his country men, his countrymen in two senses, not to aid the democratic party in lowering the standard and the wags of American labor by their potential voles and their potential numbers. Continued applause. IngalTa Estimate of Mr. Harrison. Speech at Topeka, Kan. I have never been an idolalor of President Harrison. I am under no personal obliga tions or official obligations to him. In that great struggle I waged against tbe combined hosts of iniquity and disloyalty in this State I had never even the assurance of j-ersonal mpathy from the Administration. Bnt I athrtn tbat the wisdom of his administra tion of the a flairs of the nation at home and abroaJ, is without parallel or peer in the whole history of American citizenship. Ap plause He is the on'y man who has sat in the Presidential chair for the hist half century that could take every department himself and run it without assistance. Ap plause. He is an eminent lawyer, and he was a gallant and heroic soldier. He has been an efficient and a trained legislator. It is not ofb n ttat a man grows after he is V) years old. President Harrison is distinct ly greater in intellectual stature and in men tal vigor since he has passed from the Sen ate than be was brf ire ; and he stands to day immeasurably higher in the estimation of the American pecrple than he d d when he was fi s sworn into offios. Dearly four years ao. applause. I atnrm that for versatility, for lofty patriotism, for beauty and grace of diction, force and rigor, his speeches have never been excelled, and I be lieve be has no superior in the compass of political oratory, neither ancient or modern. He is a courageous man. He is not afraid to do right. H is a patriotic man. He be lieves in the American people, and he spells the word "cation" with the biggest letter If there is in tbe alphabet. 2 1- Cents Per Pound.

After tbe return a few weeks since of the incorrigible inmates of the Huntingdon re formatory to their respective counties, it was thought that he spirit of insubordination among the prisoners bad been pretty well weeded out. Wednesday night, however, it cropped out again. Officer I). W. Boyer was marching a tquad'of sixty inmates to the school room, James Caul, an inmate from Philadelphia, jumped from the ranks and hurled his alate violently at the guard's head, but without hitting him. Alonzo Billings, also from Philadelphia, acting on Caul's signal, also struck at the guard with bis slate, but missed bis aim. That was the signal for general revolt among the inmate pupila, and balf the loO prisoners in the school room engaged in a deadly attack on the defenseless otliccr. Caul, who bad precipitated the assault, drew a brick from his coat and dealt Guard Boyer a violeut blow over the eye, knock ing bim down. After receiving a fusilade of kicks and blows. Officer Boyer drew his cane, but this was speedily taken from him and turned on himself. In endeavoring to rescue his prostrate fel low officer. Guard James Kyle was also se verely handled. A general alarm was sound ed and the riotous inmates were finally tub clued by force. Officer Boyer was removed to his home, where he is now confined. Caul and Bdlings, who bad threatened be fore to kill tbe guard, are now in dungeons. The affair was due to Guard Boyer s having reported Caul and Billings for insubordina tion. Two Sisters Killed by a Train. Two sisters met a terrible death at the Conemaugh Furnace crossing, nine miles west of Johnstown at 8 o'clock Saturday morning. At tbat hour Mrs. Sarah Rasler, whose home is near Baker's furnace ; her daughters Sarah and Ida,' age nineteen and eight years respectively, and her grown-np son, Daniel, toge'ber with a number of other people, were waiting on the platform at the Conemaugh Furnace station for the Harrisburg accommodation, all being bound for Johnstown. As their train arrived they all made a rush for it. Then western ex press, an hour and a balf late dashed by on the track between the platform and the other train, striking Sarah Re&sler and her little sister and mangling them horribly One of Sarah's legs was torn off and she was otherwise terribly cut and bruised and Ida's skull was crashed and the brains 'were ooz ing from horrible wonnds in either temple. The express train overcame its terrific speed and stopid within a distance of perhips twice its own length and backed up to the scene of the double tJagedy, and after the conductor had taken note of the occurrence, it proceeded on its way. The bodies were prepared for burial and removed to the stricken home. As Bad as It was Painted. Chicago, Oct, 10. Mrs. Mary E. Lease, the Kansas orator and Third party organizer, gives her experience during her late trip through the south to a local pa;er. She thinks General Wearer did as well as any one could under the circumstances, but she asserts tbat she does not like Weaver try to belittle the course of the Southerners. She says tbe outrages were not committed by young men and boys, but in many instances prominent men were tbe leaders in the disturbances in some cases organized party clubs ; that instead of one egg being thrown at them there were a great many eggs thrown, and not by boys, either. She declares the indignities offered Gen eral Weaver and party were not because of anything he said or bad ever done, but be cause he was advocating tbe cause of a party tbat was threatening the local success of the Democratic party. She was greatly disap' pointed, because she bad hoped in this new party to allay what little sectional feeling there was left, but she finds it as "violeut as ever Republicans bad depicted it.' Frightful Western Storm. .Chlti.nse, Wto , Oct, 14. For nearly two days tbe severest storm ever known no the I'nion Pad lie railroad has been raging here and aa far west as Ogden, Utah. In all directions telegraphic communication was cut off. All railroads have blocked, tbe cuts being filled up with snow, which in some places was piled np 18 feet. The Cheyenne Northern is entirely block el, telegraph communication cut off and no one knows where the belated trains are. Two oars have elapsed since ttie road was snowed in. Be porta are being received of immense loss of cattle and horses in Northern Colora do and in Wyoming. Thousands of dollars worth of these animals are known to bave perished, and it is estimated that almost third of the cattle and horses on tbe ranges have been destroyed by the storm.

These are fixed by the Constitution of Pennsylvania, and they are just tbe same now as they bave been for the last eighteen year. Tlie Baker ballot law merely changes the method of voting. It does not presc ribe a single new qualification of voters, and it does not prevent any legal voter from cast ing his ballot. All matters as to residence in Ibe district in which rerson offers to vote, tbe pay ment of tax, etc, remain as formerly. The new law merely alters the details that ac company the preparation, marking and de posit of the ballot. This fact should not be overlooked by cit izens who bave a legal right to vote in No vember.

Goods imported means wages earned in Eu ro) . Which shall it be? Effects of the Drought. Tbe water supply in tbe Pittsburg divis ion of the Baltimore A Ohio railroad is now a source of serious trouble to tbe company In the Y'oughiogheny river at this time the channel is almost dry. Tbe water in it is not more than is found in a small moun tain stream. The many mines along its banks impregnate tbe water with sulphur. and where the water stands in pools it be comes thoroughly mixed witb it The bed of the river is solid limestone, and the sunning of so small a stream over limestone rocks charges it heavily with lime, and out of these pools of lime and sulphur water the locomotives are supplied. The presence of these materials causes the Sues in the boilers to wear through, causing the employes a great deal of trouble. At the end of every trip tbe boilers have to be care fully gone over and plugged up, and some times they have to bs repaired at points along the road. The trouble is epecially noticed in tbe freight trains, as they are often delayed for hours at a time until the engines can be put in order. If tbe drought continues the company will be compelled to find some other source for a water supply. All Signs Fail in Dry Weather. The continued fair, pleasant and in de grees warm weather is the delight of every body in this region, except those who must endure its dust, its smoke from leaf burning ar.d the other unavoidable drawbacks ot such dry conditions. There have been indi cations of rain during tbe pest fjrty-eight hours, all of which, like signs usual in dry weather, were failures. The draught is one of the severest aud most prolonged had in this section at this season in years. No Politics Wanted. In the course of a temperance address at Pittsburgh, Snnday night, Francis Murphy, the famous temperance apostle, said: "Stand by Dr. Keeley. I'll stand.by him and by any other man who aaves auother except by violence or by police force. This whisky question ran be settle without politi cal interference. No man can be made sober by law. Y'ou may put him to jail but as soon as be gets out he will break for tbe saloon again." Two Horse Thieves. Chcyehkk, Wyoming, Oct. 17.
